Just recently got to handle this new platform and rail and was impressed by the whole system, this version was presented in Canada at a distributor/dealer show with the understanding that this was not the finalized version, the new version eliminates the rear rail on the 5.56 platforms, but will be retained on the new Troy 308 carbine & rail...

What is it with companies making keymod rails with short picatinny sections at the front?! The point of keymod is that you don't need rails. If I wanted another tube with short rail sections, I'd just get another Alpha rail.

Now... An Alpha rail with keymod slots all the way to the end at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, with QD sockets on both sides (at both ends) would be perfect. Just saying.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?
